Does the fact I'm a Verizon internet customer obligate them to build arbitrary infrastructure to any computer I happen to want to access? If I want to download a file from Yrui the goatherder's machine, are they now required to lay new pipe out into the wilds of Romania to reach his machine?
It would be interesting to see why the FCC does not want to call them common carriers, since the judge flat out told them that the only way they can legally regulate "net neutrality" is if they change their classification of ISPs to common carrier.
As common carriers, the ISPs would have zero liability for the content of traffic they handle, which would upset politically powerful lobbies like the RIAA.
I realize your new business model depends on sensationalist clickbait headlines, but you're getting pretty close to libel here.
The original article makes it clear that the NSA employee question did allow Snowden to get access to his logon credentials, it was not part of a deliberate attempt to assist him in stealing classified information. Describing him as a "helper" implies active collaboration. You're basically accusing him of a serious felony with absolutely no evidence to suggest that you're correct.
Of course, Germany system only works because they break children up into different academic tracks at the fourth grade. If you're not in the top track, you're simply not allowed to go to college. Maybe you're fine with having someone's entire life being set in stone at 10 years old because some bureaucrat decided they were or weren't one of the ubermensch, but I hardly consider that a model to aspire to here.
If the market clearing price for a college education is $10,000 dollars per year (that is the price where the number of students willing to pay it equals the number of open slots at colleges), giving people a $5,000 subsidy doesn't lead to them paying $5,000 per year, it leads to the colleges charging $15,000 per year.
I can tell you right now that we regularly drum into everyone's heads the level of confidentiality we require, that under no circumstances are you to give someone your IDs and passwords, or let them use your workstation while you're logged in.
And I can tell you right now that unless you're a tiny operation, people are doing it anyways.
What makes you think A is really X's friend and not some random guy that bought what they thought was a new SIM and which turns out to be used one last owned by X?
Do you really know if you're the first person to have used the particular SIM in your phone? Sure the vendor said it was new, but do you really know? Particularly if you live in a third world country where there's no big-name corporate retailers?
NBC is free to limit access to their broadcasts. What they shouldn't be allowed to do is ban other media companies from providing coverage of the games. The games are either a public event or they aren't. If they're public enough to deserve government funded security, then they're public enough that anyone should be allowed to cover them.
I like how the games are a private enterprise when it comes to NBC's monopoly rents on access to coverage of the games, but part of the world community when it comes to the costs of putting them on. Privatizing the benefits while collectivizing the costs is not capitalism.
As I pointed out above, even though the olympics are in Russia, the US government is still providing security support to the US olympic team via the DHS and Pentagon, including putting two naval vessels in the Black Sea.
Two U.S. Navy ships entered the Black Sea Wednesday as part of a Pentagon security plan ahead of the Sochi Olympics. The ships will be on standby to assist in the evacuation of American athletes and spectators in the event that threats are made to the 2014 Games.
Someone should set up a site that reuses all of RPS's content without attribution or permission. See how dedicated they are to media being in the public domain when it's their media.
On a similar note, I'm surprised how long it takes, following a move, for the new place I'm living to start showing up as "home" in my dreams. I've lived in my current home for almost 6 years now, and I've never had a dream where I'm here. For some reason my subconscious still hasn't accepted that this is really where I live.
I always answered this question honestly ("When faced with an intractible problem, I have a tendancy to fixate on solving it, sometimes beyond the point where it's a worthwhile use of resources") and since I have a pretty high hit ratio of job offers to interviews, that seems to satisfy them.
I think the most scary thing is that I've been out of college for almost 15 years now and I'm still regularly having the "it's finals week and you just realized you were signed up for a class you haven't been to all semester" nightmare.
You also missed that "Where I work, there are no grunts. There are no people who mindlessly grind out code." is code for "There is no technical career track here; once hired you will never get any sort of promotion."

Yes, because a shady company has never run off with people's government back currency.
Or people who have realized the American Dream but just hate yardwork.
Also, it will only work with Apple envelopes.

So just as I'm about to get done paying for my college education, I get to pay for everyone else's now too?
Which is the same as the case here with the NSA

It sounds like you ARE a man who would have no compunction murdering an entire family.

Except they generally are. At any given time, only about 30% of our Navy is doing something, with another 15% in transit or training.
More than half of our fleet is just hanging out in port waiting:

Yup:
U.S. Navy warships enter Black Sea ahead of Sochi Games
Because I'm required to pay taxes to cover the millions of dollars of public funding being spent on security for the games.
